Guys
I am having trouble finding relieable auction results or pricing info on an Alex Martin "ribless" in at least 95% condition and shot very little. original makers case included
Any ideas on the value of said gun. I know it's hard to do without pics and such, but I know it's in at least 95% condition.
What a beauty!!

Side lock or boxlock; non-ejector or ejector. All will have a big bearing on value. Sounds interesting. Smallbore should be your man on this one as he gets to a lot of auctions. Not a type of gun that you see a lot of; I presume that it will be a fairly light gun. Lagopus.....

H and H, your request is hard to answer. In boxlocks, as you indicate your interest, there were varying qualities offered by Martin. Do you know the engraving, locking system, wood quality, etc ? Then, which auctions are you thinking of ? British, American , Continental or ?? Your question , I am sorry to say, is phrased so that any answer may be wrong.

What is the condition? What are you looking for? Do you intend to auction it? It does have nice wood.

My apologies, it is a rather vague question, The gun is not mine.
I was just curious because I don't recall ever seeing one for sale in the last ten years or so of the DGJ and or SS or online for that matter?
I just figured a 95 % condition rating would be close enough for a guesstimation.
I was curious as to how good it would do at the RIA premeire auction comming up in Sept. it looks to be all original and in very fine shape.

H and H, of course the auctions will charge the seller a 15% plus or minus premium, and the buyer from 12-17.5% premium , too. This all affects the gun's net for the owner. Maybe for a single gun, a website such as Gunbroker.com or Auctionarms.com is the best idea. At least the seller gets , within a few $ what the sales price is.

People who know Martin ribless guns aren't running around in bunches. Fewer still are actively seeking one out. Most are quite light, but, it is an odd sort of light, with a strange bias toward the action/buttstock. They come to life in 20 gauge, provided some idiot hasn't put a pad on it.
You will have the only one on your block. It will be hard to sell.
Been there, done that.
Best,
Ted
